Grinning, she hurried over in her high heels to retrieve her handbag from the bed. With poise, she walked down the stairs to find William seated in the dining room."Morning." She greeted but there was no response. While they ate together at the table, William started, "We have a meeting to attend today." He said casually. Catherine raised her head when she heard what he said. "What? Why?"He stopped digging through his food and faced her. "Because it's important, and you have to be there.""I have plans for the day. Unfortunately, I cannot join you at your meeting. You only just informed me now, William; maybe if you had mentioned it earlier, then maybe I would have considered.""Do you think you have a choice?!" He pushed his seat, stood up, buttoned his seat, and continued, "Meet me in the black Ferrari. Don't keep me waiting, I d
"We hope you both had a blissful night together as a couple?" Michelle asked smiling at her husband and then at William and Catherine.Catherine immediately began to choke on her food, and then she grabbed a glass of orange juice on the table and sipped off it."Mom..." William wanted to say something angry but decided not to. "Of course we did," He said, flashing Catherine a smile and expecting her to play along.Catherine played along while also giving the couple a big smile. They might be thinking they consummated their marriage already. But did the couple know that William didn't even dare to touch her and they slept with a wide duvet distancing them?She scoffed inwardly. They didn't."So tell me, Cathy dear, how was last night?" Michelle probed.Catherine paused on her food."Mom..." William's tone changed."Alright, I won't make it any more uncomfortable for you both." She said as she dug through her food.William turned away, too. "William, I did tell you and your mother I wan
There was a long silence before William suddenly muttered,"Fine, if it's what you want, Mother," And Catherine felt her heart racing widely. Catherine tried to look at him but failed, and that was when she felt his hand around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She closed her eyes; whatever came, she got her hands cold. Her very first kiss, with her newly wedded strange husband.Without words, William lowered his head, placing his mouth into hers, and Catherine froze as she felt William's tongue dance slowly in her mouth. Even though there was no atom of feelings for each other, they had to show the world the opposite.Catherine could feel his hands threading through her scalp, sending shivers down her spine. He deepened the kiss to the point she didn't know when a moan softly left her lips. She had kissed him back, leaving her breathless and no space to think and when they broke the kiss, she wanted to take a look at his face, but the man had turned already, leaving her with a
"Oh Catherine, you look so beautiful!" Her mother complimented her, touching her burning cheeks as her eyes glinted with happiness."Thank you so much for what you have done." Her father moved forward placing a kiss on her forward. "We are proud of you. I'm sure you will do well in your marriage."Catherine laughed inwardly. Of course, she would do well with a fake marriage! So sarcastic.She tried as much as possible to smile back at them. Not wanting to get into a conversation with them, she only nodded in response. "Honey, we have sent your belongings to the Bentley mansion. Your dad and I will miss you!" Charlotte, Catherine's mother, added.They had already sent her things over so fast and they were going to miss her so much. Yeah right. What else had she expected? A fairy send-off with a lot of kisses? Catherine thought to herself and scoffed inwardly before excusing herself. She hitched her dress and hurriedly walked away from them heading towards the car."Don't say that Cat
"Look woman, you know what I hate in this life? It's pretense and fake tears. What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers so I can get out of here! I have better and much more important things to do. I am a businessman and don't have time to waste on pretense and fake tears!" Catherine stared at the man in front of her, the man who was to be her husband, bewildered at what she was seeing. This was supposed to be an official marriage as both families had wanted them, but here she was, stunned and presented with what her husband-to-be called a fake marriage: a contract marriage.She couldn't understand what this was that she found tears dropping from her eyes. Did her parents know that this was what she would come to meet?She was going to live as a ghost to her husband; to who she was supposed to be able to call her home.William's voice was icy as he spoke, his eyes fixed on hers with an unreadable expression. "What? Do you think I will make this official? You're insanely dreami
